PROBLEM CHILD
[2:13]
Stealin' cars, lost in bars
Treating hard-to-be's like superstars
I wanna come home at 3AM
I love my records
Alright and I'm going to play 'em
Problem child, problem child
We think you live much too wild
Problem child, problem child
When you get home
Your daddy's gonna tan your hide
I gave a dose to my sisterr
Only need to be a teen dream hipster
Don't care about my grades at school
Or my teacher
My Probation lady says, you ain't so cool
Problem child, problem child
We think you live much too wild
Problem child, problem child
When you get home
Your daddy's gonna tan your hide
I gave a dose to my sister
Only need to be a teen-dream hipster
Don't care about my grades at school
Or my teacher
My probation lady says, you ain't so cool
Problem child, problem child
We think you live much too wild
Problem child, problem child
When you get home
Your daddy's gonna tan your hide
Problem child, problem child
We think you live much too wild
Problem child, problem child
When you get home
Your daddy's gonna tan your hide
DON'T CRY WOLF
[3:15]
You don't have to listen
To what your parents say
They don't understand us
Their laws we don't obey
You can wear what you want
There ain't no uniform
Go where you want to go
Don't stay locked at home
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
You can't stand around now
Looking like fools
But there's a lot you could do
There ain't no rules
No point in getting bored
That won't help if you fall
So come and have some fun now
And help us smash it up
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
It's no good for you kids
Being told what to do
There's a lot of kicks for you
If you find something new
You don't have to listen
To what your parents say
They don't understand us
They're laws we don't obey
You can wear what you want now
There ain't no uniform
Go where you want to go
Don't stay locked at home
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
Don't be a fool
Don't cry wolf
ONE WAY LOVE
[3:44]
She don't care about your miseries
There ain't nothing you can do
She's afraid of all your injuries
Just makes you look a fool
I guess you better fall for another girl
Before you fall from above
Well I guess you better find yourself another girl
'Cause all you got is a one way
A one way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
She ain't the beauty that you used to know
She's the fastest girl in town
She ain't worried who's been shooting her
Bad boy shooters from around
I guess you better fall for another girl
Before you fall from above
I guess you better find yourself another girl
'Cause all you got is a one way
A one way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
She don't care about your miseries
There ain't nothing you can do
She's just afraid of all your injuries
She just makes you look a fool
I guess you better fall for another girl
Before you fall from above
Well I guess you better find yourself another girl
'Cause all you got is a one way
A one way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
One way a one way
A one way one way love
Hey you take a tip from me
You gotta change your one way love
Hey you take a tip from me
You gotta change your one way love
Hey you take a tip from me
You gotta change your one way love
Hey you take a tip from me
You gotta change your one way love
POLITICS
[2:26]
I used to get real bored in class
I don't need no politics to make me dance
No rules, no laws, no regulations
No fascist friends, no race relations
I just wanna run around
I don't wanna settle down
Politically fashionable scene
Fascist managers dreams
My politics don't sell clothes
And riots don't sell my soul
If I vote for something it's something I can see
Give me fun not anarchy
I just wanna run around
Don't wanna settle down
Politically fashionable scene
Fascist managers dreams
I used to get real bored in class
I don't need no politics to make me dance
No rules, no laws, no regulations
No fascist friends, no race relations
I just wanna run around
Don't wanna settle down
Politically fashionable scene
Fascist manager dreams
Dreams
STRETCHER CASE
[1:52]
Thirteen with a problem
Thirteen with a problem
Thirteen with a problem
And you're a stretcher case baby
Say you could kiss like a dream
Say your flesh is like peaches and cream
But while you're here
That don't mean a thing
'Cause you're a stretcher case baby
Thirteen with a problem...problem
Thirteen with a problem...problem
Thirteen with a problem...problem
You're a stretcher case baby
It may be the floor for the third year whore
Soon you'll be laid out
Not for your ecstasy but
It's your autopsy
Thirteen with a problem...problem
Thirteen with a problem...problem
Thirteen with a problem...problem
'Cause you're a stretcher case baby
So I wouldn't pay but why did you say
I'm gonna scream
You caught a brick in your face
That's why
You're a stretcher case baby
Thirteen with a problem...problem
Thirteen with a problem...problem
Thirteen with a problem...problem
And you're a stretcher case baby
Thirteen with a problem...problem
Thirteen with a problem...problem
Thirteen with a problem...problem
'Cause you're a stretcher case baby
Yeah you
IDIOT BOX
[5:00]
I can't turn you off
Well I just tried and left you off
Tom Verlaine you may be art
But you sure ain't rock'n'roll
People standing in the rain
Just to see that screen Verlaine
Supersonic, oh come back soon
'Cause all we got is a Marquee Moon
Billy Ficca don't waste my time
Just turn on to 'What's My Line'
Richard Lloyd you hideous knight
You should have rode the golden shot
People standing in the rain
Just to see that screen Verlaine
Supersonic a-come back soon
'Cause all we got is a Marquee Moon
Old Fred Smith works for the box
Oh what a haggard face
Hope he gets lots of shocks
From his Fender bass
People standing in the rain
Just to see that screen Verlaine
It's Supersonic a-come back soon
'Cause all I got is a Marquee Moon
YOU TAKE MY MONEY
[2:04]
You take my money you slap my face
You take my money you take my place
You take my money just get up and go
You take my money and my fucking sad show
You take my money
You take my money
You take my money
You take my money you mess me around
You take my money all seven pounds
You take my money for little kicks
You take my money make me feel real sick
You take my money, honey
You take my money
You take my money
You take my money baby
Oh don't be funny baby
I can get hard if you make me fight
You suck my honey baby
Oh take my honey
I don't need you
You know I'm right alright
You take my money, honey
You take my money
You take my money you slap my face
You take my money you take my place
You take my money just get up and go
You take my money and my fucking sad show
You take my money
You take my money, honey
You take my money

ALONE
[3:37]
Lying in the wiped out park
With silver screams from the dark
There's no direction
Or steel erection to feel
Can you swallow the mist from the space
Suffer with the dirt on your face
Well you can't imagine
The things that could happen this way
There's no reason to cry
Anyway, you won't get no reply
'Cause you're alone
But not me, not me
Does your painted face feel so sad
But it's the biggest thrill you've ever had
Well it's funny to think of the fun
You link with this game
So why not be out of your mind
Having a real good time
But don't bother to choose
Between calling this good or bad
There's no reason to cry
You won't get no reply
'Cause you're alone
But not me, not me
I'm not alone
Lying in the wiped out park
With silver screams from the dark
There's no direction
Or steel erection to feel
Can you swallow the mist from the space
Suffer with the dirt on your face
Well you can't imagine
The things that could happen this way
There's no reason to cry
You won't get no reply
You're alone and I love you
So not me, not me
I'm not alone
YOUR EYES
[2:53]
It's your eyes
That confuse me
It's your eyes
Oh that use me
I miss your philly eyes
I miss your smooth white lies
Pass me a cigarette
Maybe I can forget
Your eyes
That confuse me
It's your eyes
Oh that use me
Give me another drink
That honey I can sink
All of these memories
That I can't get out of my mind
It's your eyes
That confuse me
Your eyes
Oh that use me
You won't have to look far
I'll be in the nearest bar
I feel so very cold and I'm feeling
So very old
Without your eyes
They confuse me
Your eyes
Oh that use me
I miss your philly eyes
I miss your smooth white lies
Pass me a cigarette
Maybe I can forget
Your eyes
That confuse me
Your eyes
Ah that use me
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
CREEP (YOU CAN'T FOOL ME)
[2:12]
Think you're pretty mean
Acting James Dean
Lookin' real tough
But it ain't good enough
With your heart on your clothes
You try and act with your pose
But if I look in your eyes
You just run and hide
You can't
You can't fool me
You can't
You can't fool me
Now the action's begun
You ain't scarin' no one
Just backing up quick
You only make me feel sick
Just going home
Leave us alone
Go and beat up your cat
I bet you're, I bet you're good at that
You can't
You can't fool me
You can't
You can't fool me
Now the actions begun
You ain't scarin' no one
Just backing up quick
You only make me feel sick
Just going home
Leave us alone
Go and beat up your cat
I bet you're good at that
You can't
You can't fool me
You can't
You can't fool me
You can't
You can't fool me
You can't
You can't fool me
YOU KNOW
[5:05]
You've got your plastic cards
But you can't create
You've got your open bars
But you can't relate
Pretty as a mirror
Ugly as your smile
You won't fool anybody
Not even for a while
You know, you know
You know, honey you know
You know, you know
You know, you know
Can't stop thinking of you
All the ways you go on
Don't try to tell me baby
All your plastic has gone
You know we need your honey
Like I need a loan
Your time is running out now
Unless we're really on a go
Well you know, you know
You know, yes you know
You know, you know
You know, you know
You know, you know
You know honey
You've got your plastic cards
But you can't create
You've got your open bars
But you can't relate
Pretty as a mirror
Ugly as your smile
And you won't fool anybody
Not even for a while...a while
You know
You know
You know
You know
Honey you know
You know
You know
You know
You know
HELP
[1:45]
When I was younger, oh much younger than today
Never needed anybody's help in any way
But now those days have changed, I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you coming round
Help me if you can I'm feeling down
Won't you please help me
And now those days have changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
Feel like I need you like I never needed before
Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you coming round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please help me
Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you coming round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please help me
SICK OF BEING SICK
[2:32]
It's been long time since I stepped outside
Party's only just begun
Takes more than a dream to make me want to scream well
Gonna have me some fun
No way out of this city full of doubt it makes
Living seem like a sin
I'd better kick some ass
Get out real fast
Or I might as well give in
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Been a long time since I stepped outside
Party's only just begun
Takes more than a dream to make me want to scream well
Gonna have me some fun
No way out of this city full of doubt it makes
Living seem like a sin
I'd better kick some ass
Get out real fast
Or I might as well give in
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
Sick of being sick
